The 1969 Chacahoula is the direct
product of the work of nine people.
Many others helped us in va rious
ways throughout the year. Our ad­
visor, Mr. Ardoin, and the Taylor
representative, Mr. Elsing, w e could
not have done without.
Creating a yearbook is a tremen­
dous iob . It means work during holi­
days, constant worry abou t dead­
lines, thinking of ways to present
the year. Taken piece by piece , iob
by iob, there is nothing about year­
book work that is especially thrilling.
However, the iob as a whole, the
purpose of the work, is a thrill. I
wish that in some way we could
make the Chacahoula mean 10 you
what it does to us. Unfortun ate ly,
we can't. The Chacahoula has a spe­
cial meaning to us because we put
it together. We wil l see more errors
than you probably will ever see. We
w ill also see the work and the prob­
lem s behind each page.
Thanks to everyone for lheir help
and cooperation. Thanks more than
I can say to Brenda, Peggy, Becki,
Anna , Earl ynn, Gary, Pete , and Bus­
ler.
